Explicit media and pictures, XXX-rated Porn

I’m not quite sure what kind of content is meant by ‘Rule 2’ of our ‘Code of Conduct’: ‘explicit media and images’,’ xxx-rated Imagery’. Especially because of it surely doesn’t mean the same all over the world. So I would expect, that we have to follow the rules of a certain location, state or something like this. I do not know these rules exactly and am very uncertain about the use of pictures.

I don’t want to risk the future of LiL, only because of loseness on this issue. Here are some main questions, as I actually see it:

1. Is it allowed to show pictures with closeups of male or female genitals?

2. Is it allowed to show pictures with closeups of interacting genitals?

3. How about closeups with oral?

4. What if the closup part is blurred a little bit?

5. What if the picture is kind of a drawing?

6. What about closeup with secondary sexual characteristics?

7. What if any of the previous descripted content (above) isn’t shown in a closeup, but clearly visable?

I’ve wondered the same thing, and have decided to err on the side of caution. The way I read it, no interacting genitals (including oral) are allowed. I seem to detect some mixed signals about nudity, but have decided to only use clothed images, until and unless I am told otherwise. Besides, clothed images force us to use our imaginations more, which to me brings a more fulfilling experience. The less you show, the more you have to tell; the more you have to tell, the more deeply you can assess and interact with your fantasies (just my opinion, of course).

Either way, my advice is thus: if you think it might be over the line, then assume it is and pick a different photo, or just omit a photo altogether. This isn’t just a place to get our rocks off (although, please do), it’s a safe place for all of us to be introspective about things we can’t always be open about irl. It’s also the product of labor that has been done lovingly and graciously by our webmistresses. Let’s respect the sanctity of that safety and that love, and be cautious.

That link is useful, but it remains somewhat ambiguous lol. It’s like the old Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart quote:

“I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [hard-core pornography]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it…”

As far as court precedent is concerned, it basically means cover your own ass, because pornography is in the eye of the beholder.
